Serving Ingredients
  • to taste Maple syrup for that authentic pancake experience; agave syrup serves as a lighter alternative.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until well blended.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (don’t overmix!).
  4. Gently fold in the chopped pecans, making sure they are evenly distributed.
Cooking
  1. Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat and grease lightly to prevent sticking.
  2. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the griddle and cook until bubbles form on the surface.
  3. Flip and cook until golden brown on both sides.
  4. Serve warm with a generous drizzle of maple syrup.

Notes

Common mistakes to avoid include overmixing the batter and not preheating the skillet. Pro tips include toasting the pecans for extra flavor and adding vanilla extract or cinnamon for additional depth. Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
